I had COVID back in May 2021 and was in quarantine. Things were normal until late August when I started having a cold and got treated with antibiotics. After finishing the antibiotics, I noticed this slight pain on the left side of my chest while breathing deeply, as well as pain in my left hand. It's not sharp anymore, just a constant feeling. My chest X-ray came back normal, but the ECG showed Sinus Tachycardia, and sometimes my heart rate spikes. I'm 26, recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something like COPD or lung cancer. I can hold my breath for over a minute and can exhale in about 15 seconds, so I'm not breathless. But I'm really anxious, my hands and feet get sweaty, and there's this skin issue on my lower foot which makes me think about hyperthyroidism. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm seriously worried.

I'm feeling really shaky and I've been having these spells of dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure since around 5pm, and it's been all over the place. It started at 12987 with a pulse of 75, then went to 13994 with a pulse of 89, 13795 with a pulse of 84, 13387 with a pulse of 70, and now it's at 13290 with a pulse of 76. I made sure I was sitting up straight and resting before and during each check. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on with me. Can you help?
Your symptoms of shakiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea, combined with fluctuating blood pressure readings, may indicate dehydration, anxiety, or an underlying condition such as orthostatic hypotension, hypoglycemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and potential tests, such as blood work or an ECG, to determine the underlying cause.

I'm really concerned about my blood work. Am I at risk for a cardiac arrest at any moment? My lipoprotein A is 53 mgdl, HS CRP is 4.3 mgL, total cholesterol is 222 mgdl, triglycerides are 212 mgdl, VLDL cholesterol is 42.48 mgdl, and non-HDL cholesterol is 172.2 mgdl. My TSH is 6.93, and I also have hypertension. Are these numbers something to be really worried about?
Your Lipoprotein A level is 53mgdl, HS-CRP is 4.3mgL, Total Cholesterol is 222 mgdl, Triglycerides are 212 mgdl, VLDL Cholesterol is 42.48 mgdl, NON HDL Cholesterol is 172.2 mgdl, and TSH is 6.93. These values indicate a higher risk for cardiovascular issues. To manage your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiac events, I recommend starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, for hypertension, you can take Amlodipine 5mg once daily. It is important to follow up with regular check-ups and lifestyle modifications to improve your overall cardiovascular health."
